Hi,

RANT re VFW vrs WDM (Directshow) -- commercial s/w only!

From July 2002 MSDN Magazine:

...first support for ... VFW [was in] Windows 3.1...it was never fully ported to the 32-bit world <emphasis added>. ActiveMovie first shipped in 1995 [and was] renamed Directshow [in 1996]...
Directshow was therefore part of Windows 95!!!!! long before video stuff became popular.

So why the !^%$!#^%!@$ did anybody ever use VFW in their commercial software?
